Okay - I'm ill. I'm not sure what the illness is, but I am not so spiff. I have a pain on my right side that won't go away. It's about 4 inches below the armpit, though the pain radiates to the pec and back to behind the shoulder blade. The pain from it comes in surges, and there's little rhyme or reason to when they change intensity. This started on Saturday last week as a sharp pain directly in the side, and it has "migrated" to manifesting itself along the entire right side. When the pain increases, it's really bad - about a 6 or 7 on the pain-o-meter, even with a dose of Tylenol in me. When the pain ebbs, it's about a 2 and I can function pretty well. For the past week, it has been on the lighter side most of the time. Our suspicion is gall bladder, though the doc isn't sure. I had a CT scan yesterday to see if something gastro is causing the pain. I won't know the results until perhaps Tuesday next week. So, I'll be a bit sleep deprived until some plan of action comes forward.
